Dining room table rip off

let me ask you what tools that you have to build this because at the very least you are doing to need a good table saw , jointer , planer , drill press , router , random orbit sander and lots and lost of clamps. It looks to be a fairly simple table mortis and tennon construction on the legs and a top with breadboard ends. The toughest part will be gluing the top up without it looking like crap. If you do not have at least some woodworking experience I would recommend to start smaller and build your way op to a project like this.

Dining room table rip off

You have to start somewhere...a table is a good place to start.

For the table top...
If you don't have a planer, you have to buy surface finished wood
( the edges have to mate together) If the edges aren't perfect, you can do it the old
fashioned way with a hand plane...

You can glue the long grain wood together with carpenters wood glue.
Use lots of clamps when glueing...Dowels or biscuits are not essential,
for the strength of the joint, they will however, aid with the alignment.
